11 April 2018 My Mother is 73 y.o. and had a heart attack and paralatic stroke in May 2017.
She developed blood infection (Sepsis)in June after which we had to readmit in ICU for more than three months between July to October.
Now she is home and bedridden and we have nursing support from October when she was discharged till date i.e April 2018 and nursing support will
continue for another few months moving forward.

Question 1
Can I claim 80DD-Physically Handicapped - Dependent
Or
80DDB - Deduction in respect of medical treatment

Question 2 When I file my personal returns for AY 2018-19,

can I claim rebate? What are the documents
I need to have handy incase income tax queries or if I am allowed to upload the same in IT site.

Appreciate help on this.

Regards,
Mahesh

11 April 2018 1. Seems eligibility is for 80DDB

2. A prescription from a neurologist / haematologist / immunologist as the case may be obtained to produce if called upon by IT department.

Ps:- rule 11DD may be carefully looked into before availing the deduction.
